first answer:
During World War II (and also prior to it), the Japanese treatment of the Chinese may be described as demeaning and otherwise oppressive. With the intent to subjugate China for the sake of their own profit and expanded prestige, the Japanese saw China as a Japanese resource and, even further, saw the Chinese as an inferior people that, in some keen sense, deserved to be used for Japanese purposes.
second expanded answer:
Japanese treatment of the Chinese people during WW2 & before (since the 1930's) was far worse than demeaning or oppressive. For millions it was slavery, murder, looting, starvation, and other forms of brutal physical violence.
